Frogs are very interesting amphibians, and catching frogs is also super fun! Catching a frog is really easy, whether you’re keeping it as an ornamental or for research. You can trap frogs with a bucket or capture frogs with a racket.
Steps
Frog Trap
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9b/Catch-a-Frog-Step-1-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog- Step-1-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9b/Catch-a-Frog-Step-1-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step-1-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Find an area near water to place the trap. Choose a place where frogs often go to trap a frog. Frogs are naturally fond of water, so areas near lakes or rivers are easy places to catch them. [1] X Research Source
- Frogs live mainly on land but frequent wet, shady areas and shallow waters.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ee/Catch-a-Frog-Step-2-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog- Step-2-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ee/Catch-a-Frog-Step-2-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step-2-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use a hammer and nails to punch 3-4 holes in the bottom of 2 medium sized buckets. You probably don’t want the bucket to be filled with water with the frogs you just caught in it, so use a hammer and nails to punch a few holes in the bottom of the bucket. Be careful not to crack the bottom of the bucket. [2] X Research Source
- The little frogs can get through the cracks or holes in the bucket and escape.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9c/Catch-a-Frog-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog- Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9c/Catch-a-Frog-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/ v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Cut a gap wide enough to fit the plywood over the mouths of two buckets. You will install a plywood sheet 2.4m long, 1.2m wide and 1.3m thick in the opening. Use scissors or pliers to cut a 10cm deep slit in the top of the bucket. Remember that the width of the slot must match the thickness of the board. [3] X Research Sources
Tip: Check if the gap is wide enough by testing the board into it. Each bucket must have an opening to fit the board.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2e/Catch-a-Frog-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog- Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2e/Catch-a-Frog-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Dig a hole wide enough to put a bucket down. Once you’ve found a suitable place to place the trap, dig a hole about the same depth and width as the bucket. Place the bucket in the hole, making sure that the top of the bucket is level with the ground. [4] X Research Sources
- If you’re too close to the water and can’t dig a hole as deep as a bucket without the water overflowing, step back a little away from the water to set the trap.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d6/Catch-a-Frog-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog- Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d6/Catch-a-Frog-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Compact the soil around the bucket. Use freshly excavated soil to fill in any gaps around the bucket so that there are no gaps left and the bucket is fixed in the soil. [5] X Research Sources
- Shake the bucket to see if it’s firm.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/1b/Catch-a-Frog-Step-6.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step-6. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/1b/Catch-a-Frog-Step-6.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step- 6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Dig a trench about 10 cm deep and as wide as the board. The groove will start from the opening you cut in the top of the bucket down. Dig a trench 10 cm shorter than the length of the board. [6] X Research Source
- Make sure the wall of the groove is even and even.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/dc/Catch-a-Frog-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog- Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/dc/Catch-a-Frog-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Dig another hole at the other end of the trench to place the second bucket. Starting at the end of the trench, you will dig a hole as deep and wide as the bucket. Use the soil you just dug up to fill the gaps around the bucket tightly. [7] X Research Sources
- Remember to rotate the bucket so that the opening faces the other bucket.
- The bucket mouth should be level with the ground.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6b/Catch-a-Frog-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog- Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6b/Catch-a-Frog-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Insert the board into the opening in the bucket. The board will sit in the grooves and slits you cut in the bucket and should be able to stand on its own. Fill in any gaps in the trench to secure the board. [8] X Research Sources
- You can use a hammer to drive a few stakes into the ground next to the plank for extra support.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b2/Catch-a-Frog-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog- Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b2/Catch-a-Frog-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Leave the trap for 12 hours, then check for any frogs. When the frogs jump around and meet the board, they will not be able to jump over the board but will be led to one of the two buckets and fall into it. Frogs like to go out at night, so you need to set the trap overnight or for 12 hours. In the morning, go to the trap to see if there are any frogs in the bucket. [9] X Research Source
- Don’t leave the trap too long without checking. Frogs that fall into traps can die from dehydration, starvation, or be killed by predators.
Use a racket
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3d/Catch-a-Frog-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog- Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3d/Catch-a-Frog-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use a racket with a long handle and a mouth of about 45cm wide to catch frogs. Choose a racket with a small mesh so the frog can’t escape and the handle should be at least 90cm long so you can reach the frog from a distance. [10] X Research Source
- You can find racquets at hardware stores or buy them online.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/93/Catch-a-Frog-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step-11. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/93/Catch-a-Frog-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step- 11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Wait until it’s dark to catch frogs. Frogs are usually nocturnal, so the chances of catching a frog after sunset are much higher. Don’t waste your time stalking from morning to night, because the frogs won’t come to you. [11] X Research Source
- You can pass the time by practicing using a tennis racket or something like that.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c9/Catch-a-Frog-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step-12. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c9/Catch-a-Frog-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step- 12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Use a flashlight to spot frogs near water. Frogs are water-loving, so good places to find them are near rivers or lakes. Frogs often hang out on the shores of lakes or rivers, so you can use a flashlight to scan these areas and look for bright white eyes that reflect the light. [12] X Research Source
- Be careful not to meet snakes when walking along the lake!
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/cf/Catch-a-Frog-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step-13. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/cf/Catch-a-Frog-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step- 13.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Shine a light on the frog as you approach it. When you find a frog, keep shining the light on it so it can’t see you. Walk slowly as you approach the frog. The light will dazzle the frog, but it can still hear very well. [13] X Research Source
Tip: If you have a friend going to catch a frog, ask someone to shine a flashlight on the frog while you get close to it.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/48/Catch-a-Frog-Step-14.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step-14. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/48/Catch-a-Frog-Step-14.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step- 14.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Grab the racket over the frog. Quickly flip the racket over the frog with a decisive move. Keep the mouth of the racket close to the ground to prevent the frog from escaping while you approach the top of the racket. Wait about 2 minutes for the frog to calm down before catching it out. [14] X Research Source
- Try not to let the mouth of the racket hit the frog.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/8e/Catch-a-Frog-Step-15.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step-15. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/8e/Catch-a-Frog-Step-15.jpg/v4-728px-Catch-a-Frog-Step- 15.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Put the frog in a container with a lid. When the frog calms down a bit and stops jumping around, grab it from outside the net and lift the racket off the ground. Use your other hand to catch the frog out and drop it into a covered container so it doesn’t jump out. [15] X Research Source
- Thanks to that the box must be airy for the frog to breathe.
